M&G : continues temporary suspension of Property Portfolio

M&G CONTINUES TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

• • Next planned update on temporary suspension due 14 July

LONDON, 16 June, 2020: The Authorised Corporate Director of the M&G Property Portfolio ("the Fund") has decided, with the agreement of the Fund's Depositary, it can best protect the interests of all of its investors by continuing the temporary suspension in dealing in its shares.

The Fund's Standing Independent Valuer - Knight Frank - will continue to apply a statement of Material Uncertainty to its valuation due to reduced transactional evidence available on which to base valuations. However, they have announced the Material Uncertainty Clause for UK industrial and logistics assets will be lifted as of 12 June - accounting f or circa 23% of the Fund's assets.

Regular dialogue continues with occupiers to maintain the important focus on receipt of rental income. Nine weeks after the Q1 March rent collection, the Fund has received circa 76% of rent, which compares to more than 90% received at the equivalent point in 2019.

The Fund has approximately £180.8 million under offer for sale and assuming all assets which have exchanged or are under of fer were to complete, it would take the cash position to 16.1%*. Reopening the Fund for dealing will depend on cash levels but will also be contingent on the Material Uncertainty Clause being lifted.

The Fund continues to be actively managed during suspension, including income payments and fund reporting and M&G also continues to waive 30% of the Fund's annual charge in recognition of the inconvenience caused to our clients and customers.

The ACD and the Depositary reviews the temporary suspension on a 28-day cycle and we will provide you with our next update on 14 July, or earlier if needed.

Separately, Fiona Rowley has decided to leave the business after more than 27 years and Justin Upton will assume full responsibility for the management of the Fund after a handover period.Please click here to see the announcement.

ENDS

*As at the end of May 2020, the cash held by the Fund was 7.9%. £180.8 million of assets have exchanged or are under offer, which would take the total cash holding to 16.1%, assuming all deals complete. There is no guarantee transactions will complete.
